In the twisted realm of the Dark Multiverse, the Guardians of the Universe have imposed rigid order on Earth, silencing dissent with absolute control. When Green Arrow rises in rebellion, his clash with Green Lantern—now a loyal enforcer of that regime—sparks a conflict that tests the limits of resistance. Written by Saladin Ahmed and illustrated by Scot Eaton, with inks by Norm Rapmund and colors by Hi-Fi, this issue features a cover by Chris Burnham that captures the eerie, oppressive tone of a world where peace comes at a terrible cost.
